Hi mummies. Any idea if we wanna take like 1-2 weeks leave on own before Edd, should gynae dr give it as HL, MC or must we apply as maternity leave?

You can use your maternity leave in advance if you wish. Some gynae will give MC to ask you to rest at home but it wouldn’t stretch for so Long. With regards to HL, it’s really dependent on gynae. Some don’t issue HL unless you are warded in the hospital. Just to caution, if you take advance maternity leave you may wish to consider that it could exceed the duration you expected. For example 1-2 weeks cos baby may not be out.

Guess the last dr i seen wasnt so empathetic after all. Im already diagnosed with gestation diabetes even tho its control and im working in a GP clinic so its also quite tiring due to the crowd/pandemic situation now. Its was just an enquiry and she bluntly rejected.
